  • Gender Stereotype

    I have been an occasional listener and appreciated the ideas and encouragement for parents despite the many ads. However, the 7/15/26 episode on boys mental health was truly disappointing. It’s fine to invite a guest that holds very conservative view points, but to not push back on any of it was surprising. Even agreeing that men knew how to be men in the 1950’s… please read more history and please remind guests that women’s only focus is not just baby making and keeping the house, as apparently... more

  • Robert Melillo

    The way this guy was talking, overconfident in his own theories as though they are established facts, and relying only on his own “research”, set off pseudoscience scam artist alarm bells for me, and I looked him up, and sure enough, there are reviews from former employees and patients who say he is scamming people, and an NPR investigation was done a while back. I think the podcast host should be more skeptical and scientific, as a psychologist.

    I always sensed boys learned in a different way. I loved the scientific evidence to help parents and teachers better help boys learn and thrive.

  • Informative Show but Uneven Volume

    I’ve definitely learned a few things about parenting listening to this show. It’s well narrated and the show has good guests. My only annoyance is that somehow the main portion of the show is quite faint such that I have to max out the volume, then the ads explode in my ear.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Parenting Your Out-of-Control Teenager: What to Do When Nothing Seems to Work with Dr. Scott Sells
Q: My 15-year-old barely leaves his room anymore and gaming dominates his life. What can we do right now?
Start with balanced parenting (love and limits), identify the undercurrents driving the behavior, and run dress rehearsals to plan how you will respond. Build a quick win through small, concrete steps like a hug prescription or a special outing, and write rules and consequences clearly to reduce drama.
Autism in Women: How My Son's Autism Diagnosis Led to My Own with Julie M. Green | Motherness
Q: What is the central message you hope readers and listeners take away from your work?
Radical acceptance and meeting people where they are, which creates stronger family connections, reduces shame, and allows neurodivergent individuals to thrive by focusing on authentic relationships rather than solely on intervention milestones.
Autism in Women: How My Son's Autism Diagnosis Led to My Own with Julie M. Green | Motherness
Q: Can you walk us through that experience?
The guest describes recognizing overlap between her autism and her son's, culminating in her own diagnosis in her 40s after years of parenting and observing behavioral patterns, which led to greater self-understanding and empathy within the family.
A Story of Love, Loss, and Healing with Emily Souder and Mahaley Patel
Q: Mahaley, what surprised you most about the emotional impact of the NICU on families, and how does slowing down help?
Many families are overwhelmed by information and decisions, and slowing down through guided reflection helps them capture missing parts of their story, including the impact on partners and siblings, which supports deeper healing.
A Story of Love, Loss, and Healing with Emily Souder and Mahaley Patel
Q: Emily, what has your experience been like in helping families find words for experiences that often feel unspeakable?
The process of storytelling empowers families to reclaim their voice, integrate the full spectrum of emotions, and acknowledge the complexity of their experiences, which can be both validating and healing.
